Now that Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell has been repealed for several weeks now, American soldiers that identify as something other than heterosexual can now openly serve without fear of discharge. Those that were kicked out of the armed forces due to the policy can also apply for reinstatement.
Some people couldn’t seem to wait that long. According to ABC News, Randy Phillips decided to not only come out, but come out in a big way, before the DADT ban was officially lifted. He filmed the conversations with each of his parents, as well as his other coming-out adventures, and posting them on YouTube. His story is touching, as he shares one of the most emotional times in a young LGBT* person’s lives. Make sure to have a few tissues handy.
